I heard about them on the amcforum and was very excited. They are only 4 hours from me! I contacted them looking for parts for my American(s). They gave me SUPER customer service! Sent me email pictures the next day of the parts I was interested in, and were courteous and polite on the phone. Unfortunately, they know what they have. For a gas tank, 2 bumpers and a windsheild for a 64 American they wanted $600!
To some, that may seem reasonable. It's WAY too much for me! I only paid $400 for the whole damn car. I might still ask about the gas tank by itself, since they seem to be made of unobtainium. Anyway, check out the pix on their website. There's a lot of good stuff to be had, if you have deep pockets.
